606 Takes To film Rube Goldberg-like car ad

Posted by Hemos on from the building-the-machine dept.

wagdog writes "Many have no doubt seen the Rube Goldberg-like multistep mechanical chain reaction TV advert for the Honda Accord. Many thought this was yet another example of the pervasive use of computer graphics in TV commercials. Amazingly the entire delicate set up of car parts that constitute the facinating sequence is almost 100% realtime live action requiring an astounding 606 takes to get right . There is one cheat however -- can you spot it?"

    Can't do it, my pliers aren't metric.

    The bumper-sticker "Friends don't let friends drive rice burners" comes to mind, but of course, it's not like the USA has turned out a decent car in decades, so that seems rather hypocritical.

    I guess you've got to buy German (or perhaps British) to get any decent cars anymore.

    Are you kidding? Europe can't build a car that lasts more than 2 years. Japanese is the only car worth the money anymore (excluding Mazda, of course).
